Nigerian lady face jail for wrongly accusing two men of rape .... A 22-year-old Nigerian lady who thought she was having fun by raising a false alarm that she has been raped in a London bar, will learn whether she will be sentenced to a jail term after her lies were discovered. According to reports, Comfort Yinusa, had contacted emergency operators to report that she had been raped by two men, claiming they forced themselves on her. The men were traced, arrested and they spent six weeks on police bail while they authorities spent £3,000 on forensic investigation to verify the report. But her lies were found out when CCTV cameras installed in the bar later revealed that the attack never took place. The cameras revealed that Yinusa and the two men inside a McDonalds laughing and joking together while mobile phone records proved one of alleged rapist was looking for his car at the time of the alleged attack. When caught in her lie, she initially denied lying to police but changed her plea before she was due to go on trial. She will be charged accordingly with the very possibility of her facing jail time.

Meet the Governor of Abia state. "Dr Okezie Victor Ikpeazu'....The Abia State Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, has formally directed that the appellations; His Excellency and Executive , be dropped in all official and informal communication with him. He would rather prefer to be addressed simply as Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu, Governor of Abia State. The Governor wants all public communication to be concentrated on the work and policies of the state and not on the person of the Governor and has therefore directed all contractors, political groups, individuals and party loyalists not to put his portrait on billboards, posters and signages but to ONLY use the pictures of ongoing projects in their billboards and posters. The Governor has also directed the general public to remove all congratulatory posters and election billboards littering the environment as these public posters are defacing the environment of the state. He has further charged the people of the State to be partners with Government in ensuring a healthy and beautiful environment. He is also, by this directive, re-assuring the good people of Abia State of his mission of service to the people and therefore urged the citizenry to key into the new vision. Signed: Godwin Adindu Chief Press Secretary to the Governor.
